Passing judgment on everything

Reasons to carefully check who you’re emailing…

Below follows an email exchange which took place today. I can confirm that I know ‘Chris’, and this makes it all the more funny to know this actually took place…

Might have been raised aaaaages ago, but the loo seat in trap 1 has a massive crack in it. I’m not complaining about a fat dude in there, I mean the toilet seat is cracked badly. I have concerns that it could grab a chunk of your cheek and pinch quite badly. Haha funny eh?

Chris

Next email… (do you see where this is going?)

Hi Chris,

Not too sure what this email is supposed to mean?

Quite funny though.

Kind regards, Grant *****

Grant, I’m mortified, I cannot apologise enough for this! This was meant for the office administrator.

I think everyone around here immediately latched onto the look on my face when I realised what I had done, and came to see what was on my screen. So now everyone here is laughing at me too. My ego is taking a beating today that’s for sure.

Can I please enforce the fact that we are professional and wouldn’t normally email clients emails about the state of the ‘traps’.

I just tried to call to explain but you have left for the day, so perhaps we can gloss over this incident, alternatively I’m free to catch up with you tomorrow.
